Ketsana: Philippine Typhoon Leaves 72 Dead And Missing
Commented Sep 27, 2009 at 12:40:54 in World
“Not today, indeed, not today--with government officials' raison d' etre is to line up their pockets with the taxpayers' money--and to hell with the people. The present state of affairs there makes me vomit. The Calamity Fund has been sucked up dry by Arroyo et al. No wonder the rescue efforts were tentative at best. I would enjoin those who are inclined, to send their donations to the Red Cross, or to a Non-Government Organization--never to the government. Hopefully, with Noynoy Aquino as president next year, the Philippines will recoup all that it has lost.”

“I agree strongly about the corruption. It is so entrenched that I doubt if Noynoy Aquino can change that. Her late mother and former President too had all the right motives and herself was not corrupt. She even led a relatively simple life. But she was powerless to stop the corruption and failed to institute basic social reforms that would have provided the basis for sustained economic development. What I hope from Noynoy or anyone who becomes the next President is at least to bring Arroyo and her ilk to justice without hope of pardon.”

Madame President, may your essence be welcomed by the angels in Shagrila where you belong! And may you be a conduit between us mortals and the gods. Thank you for being a beacon for the oppressed of the world and for your indefatigable efforts at making it a better place. You will be missed.”

“I must say that, having lived there, Sydney is the most beautiful city in the developed world. In the delveloping world, however, Harare (pre-Mugabe atrocities) is tops. Second to Sydney in glory is Vancouver, Canada. Third is Hamburg, Germany. Sorry, no city in the U.S. ever qualifies!”

“Why is Harare better than Bulawayo with Matopas? I'd rather live in Livingstone, more than that Maputo is stunning. Hamburg is stunningly beautiful, more bridges I think, than any other city in the world, but it's not Berlin. Sorry. And what about Cape Town?”

“See? Hillary Clinton has become Obama's not-so-secret weapon. And who sez Clinton is not a team player, that she has her own agenda? It is as plain as the light of day that her agenda is none other than America's betterment. And I hope that her efforts are not too late, considering what Soros and Volcker have posited, i.e., that the world is now at a depression bigger than the one in 1929.”

“Just wait, pretty soon it's going to be "Obama's war in Iraq", "Obama's war in Afghanistan", "Obama's failed economy", etc. The Rethugs will use these talking points and re-engineer people's memory. They are great at running campaigns, smearing their opponents with blatent lies, and re-branding bad policies to make them more palatable, it's just too bad they can't govern. Are they still calling Obama a "terrorist" or a "socialist" (okay, they use the latter less often, anyway)?”

Stimulus: Dems Don't Have The Votes To Pass
Commented Feb 04, 2009 at 15:18:30 in Politics
“The taxpayers, having just gone through the wasteful and ineffective bailouts, will not condone the same old, same old. The package, as presently constituted, does not have the wherewithtal for entrepeneurs, who are the backbone of any economy, and who hire the workers. Therefore, the extant bill must be voted down, else amended to whittle down entitlement programs and go full throttle on small and medium-scale entrepreneurship.”

“I think this is just too little too late. If this is mitigation, it will not revive the patient who has hemmoraged to the point of death. Or that this is akin to trying to piece together the broken shards. Even if Congress is successful in glueing the shards together, the glass would still be useless. In short, this calls for a paradigm shift, i.e. NATIONALIZATION of banks.”

“Okay, me, I don't want to expand on the food stamps. For heaven's sake most are using it to buy liquor/beer. I should know, I am in the supermarket business. It's annoying when they order beer, only to pay, CASH, by EBT card. I commiserate with the WIC beneficiaries, because they are for the children. But food stamps for beer? Come on!”
